iICUSVIION OF THE PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD BILL IN THE SENATE.
Exelttnr Scenes in the enMse-Attempts
to Extend the Electlon Investigation.
SfENATE.
WAAHIINOTON, May 22.--After the regular
morning busines~ and a hall hour'scontroversy
as to the order of business, Mr. Lamar ad
dressed the Senate in advocacy of the Pacific
Railroad bill, the bill for the government of
the )istrict of Columbia having been tempo
rarily laid aside.
At the conclusion of Mr. Lamar's spmech
the Senate promreld Ito the consilderation of
the bill for a government for the District of
Columbia, but, after agreeing upon the first
section and slightly amending the second, at
4:10 p. In. went into executive sesslon, and
after an hour's session adjournedl.
IiOUHE.l
Mr. Ilarrison, of Illinois, rose to a question
of privilege, and offered a preamble and rese
lutions, providing for an investigation of
alleged frauds In (Oregon and South Carolina,
in thie preslidential election of 1870, and de'
"laring that it was not in the power of this
Congress to raise the question of Hayes title
to the Presidenc:y, that question having been
finally settled by the Forty-fourth Congreuss.
The point of order was made that this was
not a question of privilege.
The Speaker pro tern. (Mr. Sayler), said
that the Speaker had decidedl in a like case
that it was aquestion of privilege, but under
the rule he would submit the question to the
House to doterm ine whether it was a ques
tion of privilege.
The question was put, and on a division,
the Republicans, as a rule, refused to vote,
and there was no uorurri, whereupon the
yeas and nays were demandled.
During the roll call there was a consulta
tion and a good deal of excitement.
Mr. Potter, chairman of the select commit,
tee was very indignant toward Mr. Harrison
for offering the resolution.
The Republicans, with a few exceptions, re
fused to vote, ten only voting in the affilrma
tive and three in the negative. The Dembo
crate were also divided In sentiment.
The vote was announced as 71 yeas to ri
nayes, and the point was made that no quo
rum had voted.
Mr. Harrison-I have no desire to obstruct
the legislation of the House [cries of order],
and as the gentlemen on this side by refusing
to vote have left the House without a quo
rum, I will withdraw the resolution.
Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, immediately
rose to a question of privilege, and offer.l a
preamble and resolution that a special corn
mittee of the House has been appointsed to In
vestigate the alleged frauds in connection
with the electoral votes of the States of Louis
iana and Florida; therefore
lnRolved, That such committee be and i.
hereby authorizedl to Investigate the frauds
touching elections aforesaid in any other
State, provided they have probable cause to
believe that such frauds existed.
This created another scene of excitement
and Mr. Cox, of New York, moved to refer the
resolution to the soleet committee having
charge of the subject, and demanded the pre
vious question.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, tried to be recognized
to make the polunt of order that this was not
a question of privilege.
On the question of reference the vote stood
49 In the affirmative and 115 in the negative.
The majority of negative votes was given by
the Republican side.
Mr. Cox then expressed the hope that the
resolution would be adopted unanimously.
The question was put, and it was decided
in the affirmative by a viva voe' vote, but
nearly all the voices heard were from the
Democratic side.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, from the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the State Depart
meat, submitted articles of impeachment
against 0. D. Bradford, late consular judge
and vice consul general at Shanghai, for high
crimes and misdeameanors in office. Referred
to the Judiciary Committee for report.
The House went Into committee of the
whole on the army appropriation bill, and
Mr. Schleicher, of Texas, made a speech in
favor of keeping the army up to the present
standard.
Speeches were mader by Messrs. McGinnis,
Foster, Throckmorton, Mills and Patterson
in opposition to a reduction of the army,
and by Messrs. Southard Wright and iothers
in favor of such reduction, until 4 :30 p. in.,
when the House took a recess until 7 :30.
The House reassembled at 7:30( o'clock for
general business.
Mr. Dunnel, from the Committee on Com
merce, reported a substitute for the bill, de
laring and defining the jurisdiction of the
United States over the rivers and harbors of
the United States. Ordered printed and re
committed.
Mr. Southard of Ohio, from the Committee
on the Electoral Count, reported abill amend
ing the constitution of the United States in
relation to the election of President and Vice
President. The bill was ordered printed and
recommitted, and Mr. Southard gave notice
that he would call it up on June 4.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, called up his
motion to rec(nsider the vote recommitting to
the Committee on the Judiciary the bill to
provide means for giving official notice of
acts of government, and to provide for the
advertisement required. by the several de
partments of the govet nment.
Mr. Butler explained that the bill proposed
that all the acts of the government, laws, pro
pos(als, advertisements, orders, decisions of
the Supreme Court, etc., should be printed in
a paper, to be publishedl at the government
printing osirc1 week ly, to be called-ic, t .Official
Gazette. lie thought it would result in a say
ing of half a million dollars, which was now
expended in advertisements In newspapers.
The motion to rec)nsider prevaildl.
Mr. Atkins, of Tennornesse, hopl that th,'
bill would be recommitted, as it was not well
understoodl.
Mr. Butler said it was consideredl by the Ju
dciciary Committee three times, and h,' hoped
it would not be recommitted,, but if it went
back at all that it would be sent to some other
committee.
Mr. Atkins said that the member had not
had time to read and consider the bill.
Mr. Butler said he thought the gentleman
could follow the lead of the Appropriation
Committee. All their bills were not read,
and sometimes the more we read them the
less we know of them.
Mr. Foster, of Ohio, said that this was no
doubt a measure of reform, but there wtas an
oatnous silence on the part of the other mem
bers of the comuumittee.
Mr. Butler said that the committee exam
ined the bill. If you had reported an appro
priation bill, you would think 'it uncounpli
m.ntary if I s hould talk about an ominous
sileoce of the other members.
Mr. FosUtr would say candidly that he had
heard rumors that the commitoee had not
agreed to the bill.
r. Butler said it was unworthy of the
gentleman to repeatt the rumor. He said it
was indorsed by the committee. There is the
chairman of the committe if a voucher is re
quired. The gentleman from Ohio may want
a voucher before he dies.
Mr. Knott said the committee indorsed the
bill.
Mr. Harris, of Virginia, said the report was
authorized, but he reserved the right to vote
against the bill.
After some amendments had been adopted.
the bill passed by a vote of 109 to 77.
The House took up and agreed to the con
f.rence report on the Indian appropriation
bill; then, at 9:.50 p. m, adjourned.
Three Million 11 llroead Boads Isued
Under a Defective Dor1gase.
HARTFORD, May 22.-It has been discovered
that the mortgage of the Connecticut West
ern Railroad, under which $3,000,003 of first
mortgage bonds were issued is defective, In
not having been witnessoed by two persons as
required by law, and it is believed that the
matter can only be adjusted by the passage
of an act by the General Assemblv,which can
re done at the next session of the Legislature.
What the InvestIiatmnn Means.
IBaleigh News (Dm.).i
The object of this investigation is not sim
ply to collect into durable form the evidence
of frauds in the stolen States. It is said that
the complicity of President Hayes and Sec
retary Sherman will be clearly established.
If such shall be the ease, the impeachment of
ioth..these high oflicials is among the poesi- I
4lties of the immediate future. Indeed, that
would be a logical sequence of the investiga
tion. But whether in case of the lmpeach
ment and removal of Mr. Hayes, Mr. Tilden
would be seated as President, is a question to
be considered. We are disposed to think that
Mr. Tilden could secure the Preesidency only
through judicial proceedings Instituted under
and by virtue of the sayvng clause in the
Electoral Commission law.
(Pittsburg Post (Dem.) I
There will now bean investigation that may
lead some high heads in the penitentiary.
What becomes of Hayes, few care on either
side of the political fence. If connected with
with the crimes, by proper evidence, he will
be impeached. This is not "rcvivlng the,
presidential struggle." It is the first step to
justice.

Vien President Hendricks may preside oýver
theSenate after the fourth of March next.

WHI HAiYE' In WORRIED.
Hardly Daring to Go out for Fear of Be-o
ilg Pointed at as the Great Fraud.
(Hartford Tirnes.l
All this agitation of tlhe question of Mr.
Hayes' title is greatly disturbing the occu
pants of the White House. Notwithstanding
the Associated Press agent here was kin't
enough to send ofi last night a statement din
tateil by John Sherman, to the effect that Mr.
Hayes was not worried in the slightest over
what was going on in the House, or what is
being said about it in the pressof the country,
Mr. Hayes is worried over these Florida de
velopments, and very conasidrably so, and has
done all he could to keep an investigation
resolution out of the House, directly and in
dlirec tly. It can be proved that, during the
past three weeks, he has requested more
than one Southern .emocmrat to use all the
efforts in his power to prevent further
ag tatlon of the matter. It can be shown
also that very close friends of the administra
tion have made promises of office to certain
Southern gentlemen, provided they could per
suades their Representatives to vote "no" on
this resolution, and it is a fact that three
fourths of all the talk heard about the hotels
to-day in advocacy of "letting up" on Hayes
comes from persons who expect to be paid for
it by ofice or otherwise, in case Mr. Hayes
passes over the stream safely. Stanley Mat
thews and John Sherman arealso worried over
it, Sherman especially. He knows that just as
certain as an investigation is ordered, and
thoroughly made, he will appear In such a
bad light that a howl will be raised from onel
end of the country to the other so loud that he
can only stay it by stepping down and out.
Mrs. Hayes also feels uncomfortable, and ha.s
said so to more than one person, male and fe- i
male who can be named, if necessary. There
is nothing said about the matter in the White
House among the secretaries or clerks of Mr.
Hayes. Dr. Rogers, the p(ot-seretary of ,Mr.
Hiayes, keeps a sharp lookout for the comrn
ments of all the ledling pa irs. 'these he ah
stracts and reads for Mr. Hayes' bhnefit every
lday. Hayes feels this thing so badly that he
does not go on the streets as much as former
ly, because he dislikes the idea of being
p.)inted at as the great fraud.
But a few days remain for payment of
Ilcenses and taxes on personal property
without court costs and penalties.
